Cambridge has many attractions within the city walls, including the Botanical Gardens, going for a punt on the river Cam and the Fitzwilliam Museum. For those who prefer to shop the city hosts two shopping complexes, the Grand Arcade with its mixture of designer and high street shops, and the Grafton Centre which hosts one of the city’s cinemas. With a lively student nightlife of bars, restaurants and clubs, the city is home to several famous venues including the Corn Exchange, The Junction, the Cambridge Arts Theatre, the ADC Theatre, and Anglia Ruskin's own Mumford Theatre.

The birthplace of broadcasting, Chelmsford attracts a wealth of cultures which makes it ideal for anyone to immerse themselves in its cosmopolitan environment.
